Before and after, in real Lisbon homes
A look at cleanings we are proud of — the brief, the work and the result.
Deep cleaning of a one-bedroom apartment in Parque das Naçoes
A classic apartment that had not been professionally cleaned in over a year. Two professionals reset it top to bottom in a single day, with the oven and interior windows added on.
Move out cleaning of a three-bedroom apartment in Benfica
A move-out deep cleaning of an apartment prepared for its next tenants. After years of everyday use, our two-person team restored the property in a single day with a full top-to-bottom clean, including the oven, interior windows, kitchen, bathrooms, wardrobes, and balcony.
Move-in clean of a T2 with years of built-up grease and limescale in Almada
Years of baked-on grease lifted out of the oven. Hard limescale stripped from the shower column, screen and floor. Long-standing deposits cleared from the toilet base and tile grout. Every window hand-treated, including exterior scale and paint marks. Antique furniture moved and cleaned by hand — no machines on the inlaid parquet. Three professionals, nine hours, finished the same day.
Post-renovation clean of a T2 with builder's dust on the marble and a greasy oven in Estrela-Lapa
Baked-on grease lifted out of the oven, racks and trays included. Construction dust cleared from marble worktops and window ledges — it bonds to stone and will not wipe off dry. Glass, chrome and grout washed down in both bathrooms. Windows done inside and out. The parquet brought back to an even sheen; the terrace decking and its glass railing washed. The flat was going on the market, so the work was judged by eye: no streaks on the glass, no dust left on the marble. Three professionals, ten hours, finished the same day.
Move-out clean of a T2 on Campo Grande after a year with no professional clean
The flat had gone more than a year without a professional clean, so every deposit had set hard: nothing was scrubbed off, it was dissolved — apply, let it dwell, work it, rinse, apply again. The calcium in the shower and on the toilet gave way only on the fourth or fifth pass. Under the kitchen units, grease, dust and dirt had baked into a sticky film lifted out by hand from places a cloth does not reach. The appliances had stood untouched for years — oven, extractor, even the washing machine was furred with scale — and the blocked drains were cleared. The windows were washed clean, every pane gone over twice until the film lifted. Balcony frames were steamed and brushed back from ingrained dirt and paint. All the furniture is white, so it was gone over detail by detail. Walls were taken back with melamine sponges, floors and joints with a steam vacuum. Two professionals, ten hours, finished the same day.
